Terry Schindler-Schiavo and other things that make your head explode

Sometimes, I really love this place: We live in a society that balks at Christmas celebrations because they might offend sombody, yet so many of those offended people seem to see no problem starving a woman to death... There's a disconnect here that I wish I didn't understand.

Anyway, I am more than a little shaken by this. It once said by Ayn Rand that individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law. What I see here is an erosion of individual rights and a society slipping away from law. I see a man whose greed has completely destroyed his adherance to law.. many men, actually... Terry's husband (I'm going to be real generous and professional by identifying him as a turdmunch), I believe, is after money and little if anything more. I see something far more sinister in his supporters...
Now, this case sets the precedent that those who can not speak are non-entities, they have no rights. It fits nicely with the agenda of those those who would kill prenatal children, doesn't it? When Roe vs. Wade fell to the side of those who would kill children, there were some who said that it would lead to the extermination of adults. Anyone doubt that now? Who's next? Political prisoners? The elderly? 18-month olds? Head trauma patients? It might not be too long before we not only allow the killing of those who can not speak for themselves, but of those whom nobody wishes to listen to.
Now here's another little incosistancy: The U.S. Supreme court recently outlawed the death penalty for those under the age of 18 beause it is 'cruel and unusall' (BS, but that's another subject) but apparently, depriving a person of food and water until their heart stops is cool. Ever gone without water for even 12 hours? 16? 24? How were you doing by hour 24? Now if sombody did that to you until YOU DIED, would that not count as cruel? I hear turdmunch talking about compassion... I might buy a case for compassion if this involved instant death... but there is nothing compassionate about starvation and there is nothing compassionate about taking the life of a human being.
Medicine has nothing to offer this discussion. I don't want to hear about any of it. We know so little about comas, but one of the things that we do know is that THEY END from time to time. We also know that Terry Schiavo is not a total vegetable... this is an issue of individual rights, of whether or not one person or group of people have the right to take the life of another person in cold blood. Once again, to Ayn Rand: "We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."
There's no living will here... therefore, we must err on the side of individual rights (the right to life, say?) and not starve Terry Schiavo to death.

Funny questions: Why won't turdmunch let Terry's parents care for her, as they have volunteered to do? What in her death, helps him?
Who's next?
Why are the authorites not stopping this? Would nobody stop the starvation of a baby? A quadraplegic? Why then does nobody stop this?
God help us.
Next post will be lighter... the last thing I want is to be negative.
